Depending on the season you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Peacock Bass, Bowfin, Tiger Oscars, Cichlid's, Florida Gar and more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself live bait fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your guide will provide top quality Scenko Stix rods paired with Shimano Stradic and Miravel reels, along with live bait, (shiners) and artificial lures if requested.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the guide. All trips are catch and release.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses and sunblock. There will be cold drinks on offer, but let the guide know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is not allowed.

Best fishing trip you could ask for.
4 Hour Trip PM on August 2, 2026 • 2 adults

the entire trip was incredible, but especially captain Johnson. He is an awesome captain and made the entire trip worth every cent. He knew all the right spots to find fish and we left the day with over 20 fish caught from 6 different species. I cannot recommend his services enough, weither you’re going as an individual or a family outing, you will have an amazing time and be well looked after out on the water.

An unforgettable day of fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 21, 2026

Sean was an absolute blast to fish with! He’s super knowledgeable, keeps everything safe and professional, but also makes the whole day relaxed and fun. He took us to several different spots, and we caught way more fish than we ever expected. It felt like we had action all morning. If you’re looking for an exciting, safe, and fish-filled adventure (especially with kids), Sean is your guy. His gear is top-notch, and he’s incredibly attentive and patient. Thanks to him, my son had a day he’ll never forget.

Awesome trio!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an awesome experience! We caught tons of fish and appreciate the effort from Sean. After trying a few different spots he got us on some peacock bass, which is what my son had been looking for. I would definitely do it again and recommend to anyone who’s looking for a good trip.

Great fishing trip
3 Hour Trip - Morning Bite on January 12, 2026 • 2 adults

Capt Sean was very responsive to messaging before the trip. We normally do the fishing charter’s in the St. Lawrence River in NY / Canada border. We have always caught fish there. This trip in the Everglades was great. Nonstop bites. We hit a few of Capt Seans spots during a four hour trip and we probably caught 20 fish each. My son and I both highly recommend him. We will definitely be back next year.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I have lived in South Florida my entire life and have been fishing since I was a kid. And while I have fished all over Florida, the Everglades is an area that Im truly passionate about. It's a magical place and one of my favorite places to be. With years of experience navigating the waters of the Everglades, I have the knowledge and experience to put customers on the fish and educate them on the amazing wildlife that the glades has to offer. As well as being a guide, I am also an avid tournament angler and complete in some of the largest tournament trails in Florida. I run a brand new 2025 Nitro Z-18 powered by a Mercury 150hp motor with a cruising speed of around 55mph. The boat is tournament ready with 3 new 12" Lowrance Elite series graphs as well as a Garmin 12" graph with livescope, a Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor with spot lock and remote operation and so much more. On board you will find top quality Scenko Stix rods paired with Shimano Stradic and Miravel spinning reels. Baitcasters are also available upon request. I always keep extra rods on board to ensure there's no break in the fishing due to snagged lines or lost hooks. There is also a cooler filled with ice, water and gatorade, a first aid kit, auto inflatable life jackets, all fishing gear needed for your trip and plenty of dry storage area's. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned pro, I always strive to make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water.
